Respiratory support is a set of specialized medical techniques and treatments used to improve respiratory function in patients who have difficulty breathing properly.
Respiratory support can be beneficial for patients with chronic lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis, as well as for those who have suffered injuries to the respiratory system or who require respiratory assistance during the recovery process following surgery.
Respiratory support techniques may include the administration of supplemental oxygen, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
The need for respiratory support is determined through a comprehensive medical evaluation that includes pulmonary function tests, blood gas analysis, and an assessment of the patient’s respiratory symptoms. A pulmonologist will determine whether the patient requires respiratory support and which technique is most appropriate for their case.
Respiratory support services are provided at specialized medical facilities, such as hospitals and clinics, which have the medical staff and specialized equipment needed to deliver this type of care. At Hospital Angeles Puebla, for example, this service is provided by a multidisciplinary team of respiratory specialists.
